What does it mean to be forgiven for Christ's sake?

Answered in 1 source

Being forgiven for Christ's sake means that our sins are forgiven solely based on His merit and work, not our own.

The phrase 'for Christ's sake' emphasizes that our forgiveness is entirely dependent on the person and work of Jesus Christ. It signifies that we are not forgiven due to any worthiness on our part but because of Christ's atoning sacrifice. The sermon underscores that being forgiven for Christ's sake is the very foundation of grace, reflecting that God’s decision to forgive is on account of Christ's righteousness and work, ensuring that our hope and assurance lie solely in Him.
